Saint’s Prison Novel Chapter 110

It’s the words of family.

At the worn edge of mory.

“You have been chosen,”

Mother said, averting her eyes.

“Fulfill your duty,”

Father said, narrowing his eyes.

“Beco one, and accept everything,”

Grandmother said, crying.

“This is our destined fate,”

Grandfather said, laughing.

Those are the words of a family, now just a mory with faces I can no longer recall.

***

Ah, my head hurts.

Awakened by a throbbing pain, I feel discomfort in my blurry vision. Darkness envelops , and I am unwillingly aware that night has fallen.

…What happened to ?

Raising my body, which had been lying down, I fumble around to determine my location. Rough linen bedding. Smooth and lukewarm skin. Sweet breaths I can barely hear. I inadvertently hold my breath at the sensation.

Then, moonlight streams through the window.

My eyes chase the light, widening as my mouth trembles. I short-circuit at the sight before .

“Sofia-san,”

Next to

lies Sofia-san… naked, lying next to . And I, too, am without a single thread of clothing.

“Did I… sleep with Sofia-san?”

Saying it out loud, I understood.

The heavy scent of a woman fills the room. The unnaturally damp bedding. The red marks Red marks were scattered all over Sophia’s white skin, as if to infringe on it. Everything was telling. Ah, I was careful. I, Sophia. I don’t rember how it happened, but there was evidence right in front of

that I couldn’t escape from.

“Heh, huhuhu, ahaha,”

Despite being terribly shaken, I found myself laughing. It was the only thing I could do. It wasn’t fun, nor was it joyful. I simply couldn’t fully accept the reality before . That’s what I had to think.

My heart thudded wildly.

As if still hungry, it pulsated. How greedy can you be? Haven’t you had your fill? What more do you desire? Feeling disgusted, I pressed my hand against my chest. No more desires. No more tainting. No more loving.

That’s right. To prevent that from happening, I kept running and running and running… Wait, what happened then?

“Amal.”

Whispering her na,

I wanted to see her. To see Amal.

Despite my betrayal, despite holding another woman, I shalessly wanted nothing more than to see her. I slipped out of the bed, picking up my discarded clothes off the floor and clumsily putting them on while a chilly feeling crept over .

Then, with unsteady steps, I began to walk. The sound of my feet echoed on the cobblestones.

Pitter-patter.

Echoing in the silence.

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter.

Echoing in the silence.

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, pitter-patter, clank.

—Echoing in the silence?

Giggles.

Soone laughed.

Sothing sneered.

The sound of a crowd could be heard.

Amidst the silence, it was noisy.

The night was so noisy.

“Hey, turn around.”

If I turned around, it would be the end. That much I understood. I knew nothing else. I closed my eyes tightly, a clear sign of my determination not to look.

“Turn around, turn around, turn around… please, I want you.”

The words kept repeating. I didn’t respond. Instinct warned

not to.

“Find . Call my na. Love …”

Whispered into my ear.

The voice was wet, both familiar and strange. My heart, starving and exultant, soaked up the sound.

I couldn’t breathe. Oxygen wasn’t circulating, and my blood saturation plumted. My consciousness faded.

Die, die, want to die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die.

――――Die.

“Hey, who am I?”

The last ti I heard her voice, it sounded so lonely.

＊＊＊

“…Andy-sama?”

My na was called. I opened my eyes. The setting sun was streaming through the window. There in my view was a young girl sitting on the bed, peering worriedly into my face. I involuntarily gasped, not from surprise but from an imnse sense of guilt.

“Ah, Amal. I, I am…”

“Andy-sama, are you alright? You seed to be having a nightmare; did you see sothing frightening?”

“A dream, was it all just a dream?”

“Yes, a dream. You seed to be suffering, Andy-sama, so I woke you.”

I see. So it was all a dream. The pilgrimage, putting Sofia-san to bed, and holding her, was it all just a dream?

With that thought, the tension left my shoulders. Good. I had not betrayed Amal.

“Is that so. Amal, thank you.”

“Yes, Andy-sama.”

I took Amal’s hand and pulled her close. She didn’t resist. On the contrary, she happily rubbed her face against my chest, marking

as usual. A soft, faint scent of roses tickled my nose.

“Because Andy-sama found , called my na, and loved … I can be myself.”

“Amal?”

“I will not hand over Andy-sama to anyone. As if I would. No matter who they are, I will not allow them to touch you. You alone are my light. My everything. My beloved.”

Amal lifted her face and gave a small smile.
